I am trying to create a "link" on a tabular form to an Impromptu pop-up for a textarea. I was using Dan McGhan's guide on his blog Dan McGhan's Oracle Blog: Popup In Report. Admittedly the explanation is a few years old. So maybe it does not work any longer.

It does display the pop-up correctly. But it does not update the database column. Nor does a value appear associated with the hidden field. I believe I have the code customized correctly. The ID of the column is F02. And the item for the text area is F10 in my case.

I checked using firebug. If i type something and clicked ok button in pop-up window means It (the value) should populate into the hidden item(f10) in your case. but the hidden item is not getting populated. I am not able to login into your workspace as a developer. Can plz check, how you are populating the value from pop-up text field to hidden item?..

If the value populated in hidden item then definitely it will store in database column.

Also i checked in Dan McGhan's example for this using firebug. There the value is populated to hidden item. I think you missed something for populating the hidden item. Plz check.
